If
you are directing output
to
a
file,
it
IS
directed via the currently installed printer driver
so that
it
contains
all
the special codes that your printer needs.
If
you
include the optional export, Archive ensures that the
file
contains only printable
ASCII codes, carnage refurns and line feeds.
The
resulting file
is
suitable for importing
into Quill
The optional
dump
allows the
text
to
be transmitted
to
the
file
without being processed
by the printer driver
In
this case
all
ASCII
codes (Including control codes) are passed
straight into the
file.
Unless you specify a
file
name extension, Archive assumes an extension
of
_lis
(_exp
or
_dmp
if
you include the optional export or dump).
The alternative form
of
the command - spoolon screen - directs the output
to
the
monitor screen instead
of
the
printer.

to
force a display
of
the fields of the current record.
